Patient Reviews

My experience with Dr. Boden and the entire staff at the Hair Restoration Center of Connecticut was outstanding. Everyone was extremely courteous, helpful, and considerate; they made me feel completely at ease throughout the procedure.

Dr. Boden’s professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were evident from the very first consultation through the follow-up visits. His team provided clear instructions, compassionate care, and constant support during recovery.

I’m very happy with my experience and would highly recommend Dr. Boden and his team to anyone considering hair restoration. Their kindness and commitment to patient care truly stand out.

Dr. Boden did the nearly impossible of making my wife happy! She blatantly told me that my hair looks better that ever in the past 18 years she's known me, and this is after a previous transplant procedure. And she's right! Dr. Boden's combination of surgical excellence and detailed artistry gave me the result of a thicker head of hair with such a natural hairline, that I could not be more pleased with as it has improved my confidence in my appearance greatly. I can without reservation recommend Dr. Boden and his team if you are considering this procedure and desire an outstanding result.

Very positive experience. Did a great job. Everyone was pleasant and helpful and relaxing. Almost fell asleep during the procedure. Excellent follow-up as well. Would definitely recommend.

I visited several other doctors before finding Dr. Boden. What stood out to me the most was his care -- it felt less like a hair factory and more like a visit to a primary care physician. He was attentive to my desired outcomes and worked with me to find the best solution given my age and hair type. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the experience and results.

I did a lot of research on Dr. Boden on various forums before driving down from NH to get FUE. I wanted to see if the hairline could be fixed or if it was finally time to shave my head. I am 36, for reference. My goal was to get to a low-maintenance hairline that I wouldn't need to comb over to look presentable. Dr. Boden was friendly and approachable and gave me realistic expectations after measuring which/how many donor sites were good candidates, what my personal balding pattern would look like in the future, hair thickness/density, etc. He emphasized getting a natural-looking hairline while matching the patterns of my hair with the existing hair density.

Now, over a year out, I am happy to say that my hair looks full and natural, just as it did when I was in my early 20s.

My hairline and crown began to thin around age 46, by age 53 my hairline had substantially receded, and a fair amount of scalp was visible in the crown area.  It took me a year (more) to finally work up the courage to do something about it. After an extensive amount of research, I chose a highly respected and touted Doctor who was considered a world-leading pioneer in the field. He performed a 2000 hair FUE. He was only able to address the front hairline. It took a little over a year and the results were ok. Fast forward 10 years. The non-transplanted hair continued to recede and looked choppy and unnatural, coupled with the fact that my crown was never addressed, so I decided on a second procedure.

I do my homework; I always find it a little curious that people will call four companies for a granite countertop replacement but just take the first doctor they encounter. After a month of research and with money and travel being no object, I decided to call Dr Scott Boden, MD of the Hair Restoration Center of CT. After several phone calls, one with a staff member and one directly with Dr Boden, I felt comfortable enough to schedule an in-person visit. I arrived at a somewhat modest office and was greeted by a very friendly staff and then, finally, Dr. Boden. Dr. Boden spent over an hour with me, instructing me on what I could expect and not expect; I couldn’t have felt more comfortable. As a result, I went ahead and scheduled surgery. On the morning of my surgery, I met with Dr Boden. we spent over an hour together drawing in my hairline and getting it exactly how I wanted. I never felt rushed or that the doctor was just going through the motions; he truly wanted the best for me. He and his staff working together, transplanted about 2000 hair follicles by FUE method, 1200 to the hairline and 900 to the crown. I cannot begin to describe how professional he and his staff operate and how comfortable they make you feel, just top-notch. Fast forward five months after my surgery, my hairline has filled in beautifully and looks completely natural, my crown has filled in enough to cover my scalp, and I won’t see the final results for another year! To anyone contemplating a procedure, first overcome your fear and second contact Dr. Scott Boden, he is hailed as one of the best in the country, and now I know why. The fact that he is a kind and caring individual is just a value-added bonus. Good Luck to you.

Once I knew I wanted a hair transplant, I researched online for a while and was happy to find an experienced surgeon near home. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Boden and was immediately impressed with his catalogue of results and his demeanor. Dr. Boden was super friendly, explained all of the options clearly, along with the pros and cons, and was not the least bit pushy in trying to make a sale. I opted for the FUT method to maximize the amount of transplanted hair. The surgery itself went very smoothly and was basically painless. The recovery period went by without a hitch and Dr. Boden and his team were a phone call away if I had any questions. I'm a little over a year out from surgery, and the results have been life-changing. The hairline and hair placement look extremely natural, not once has anyone asked "Did you get a hair transplant?" I would recommend Dr. Boden in a heartbeat if you are considering a hair transplant.

The folks here took really good care of me. I was apprehensive about the procedure but they did a great job putting me at ease. When I need a repeat prescription they take care of it in short order as I chop and change pharmacies. I'm happy with how everything turned out from an aesthetic point of view too. I went down the FUT avenue and while it was the cheaper option I don't have any regrets about choosing it. Overall, it was a more pleasant experience than I was expecting, you could do far worse than Dr B I'm sure.

Dr. Boden and his team are truly exceptional! He provided me with exceptional care throughout my entire procedure, from the initial consultation to post-operative follow-up. He explained everything clearly and addressed all my concerns with patience and made me feel completely at ease during this stressful time. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention his team, as they were absolutely phenomenal! They consistently went above and beyond to ensure all my concerns were addressed promptly and with the utmost care. Their friendly demeanor, clear explanations, and willingness to assist with even the smallest questions made a world of difference in my overall patient experience. I truly appreciate their dedication and professionalism - they are a vital asset to this practice!

As a surgeon myself, I was impressed with Dr Boden's entire undertaking from the initial evaluation, pre-procedural preparation, the surgery itself and post-op care. The initial consultation was professional, detailed with reasonable expectations, answers to every question and no pressure to make a commitment. Prior to the surgery, Dr. Boden and his staff were available to answer questions and provide all necessary pre-op information. But I was most impressed with the surgery itself. Unlike some hair transplant centers that schedule two patients per surgeon, Dr. Boden devotes the entire day to one patient on his surgery days. The OR setup was outstanding. Often the best surgical outcomes occur when you have the best OR team. Dr. Boden's OR technicians are highly skilled and have worked with him for years. The entire team is meticulous and quietly concentrating on the work. During the procedure, Dr. Boden is totally focused on your surgery and not distracted with small talk. Post-op care is superb. When the results came in over the next few months, it was apparent to me that Dr. Boden, the surgeon, is also an artist who I compare to a Rembrandt. Your scalp is his canvas and hair follicles are his paint. Since you are looking for the best outcome from a hair transplant surgery, why not schedule your hair loss consultation and meet with Dr. Boden and get his recommendation. If you are out of state, Dr. Boden's office is 20 miles from Hartford's Bradley Airport and there are several decent hotels nearby. You will be happy that you made the decision to meet Dr. Boden.
